Who directed the 1992 film Singles, set in Seattle’s grunge scene?

The story behind the answer

Cameron Crowe directed the 1992 film Singles.

Singles is a romantic comedy-drama set in Seattle and follows the relationships and careers of young adults living in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Crowe also wrote the screenplay, drawing on the atmosphere of Seattle’s music culture during the grunge boom.

The film features a prominent soundtrack with songs by major Seattle-associated acts, including Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Mudhoney. Members of Pearl Jam appear in the film, and the story includes performances by fictional and real musicians.

Singles was released in September 1992. It is often discussed alongside documentaries and concert films about grunge, but it is a scripted feature rather than a music documentary. Crowe had previously directed Say Anything... and later directed Almost Famous.
